Challenge – Onsite marking of flight critical parts by the Monode Marking team and an engineer from the manufacturer with the 2D Datamatrix ECC 200 for traceability. This was done with two basic varieties of parts:
- In-place (installed) components
- Painted fuselage, structural, and mechanical components
- Removed components
- Selected exterior engine components, including rotors, gears, ect.
Solution – Monode preformed the hands-on analysis and determined that a mobile marking platform had to be invented. This platform had to be able to run using a generator for some of the challenges and the labs had to invent some new marking processes to meet the needs of this project.
